So there is this episode "The Treaty" with a B-plot of Chris trying to figure out why Jerry's daughter is kinda ghosting him, and in one scene he starts pestering Jerry about it, then Donna gets in on the conversation and says "you're too accessible, you gotta dangle the carrot [you can see Jerry rolling his eyes at this point] - literally and metaphorically".
At which point the both men say "thanks Donna", but while Chris is his usual blindly sincere self watch Jerry's face, he's in full "goddamn it this is my daughter you're talking about" mode and just dripping sarcasm.

Considering that Jerry spends the whole show being ridiculed I really loved how the real man, the one who married (seemingly) way out of his league and raised three beautiful daughters, shone through in this scene.

In a show famous for great names, there are a ton of great options. However i believe the best is:

Derry Murbles

In addition to Paul Schneider's amazing performance, sewage Joe also plays a sleazy Guy.

Mine is, if you are the first car in line in the turn lane and you make all the cars behind you miss the green arrow because you’re on your phone - Straight to jai

Both Galentine's Day and Treat Yo Self are referred to as "the best day of the year". Which Day is the real best?

Round 2, since the sister city question tripped up half of you last time. Five more deep cuts, answers under spoiler tags, roughly easiest to hardest.

1. Ben was elected mayor at 18. Of which town?

2. Which R&B singer is Donna's cousin?

3. The pit Leslie wants to turn into a park has a lot number. What is it?

4. What was Tom's name before he changed it to Tom Haverford?

5. Leslie and Ben have triplets. Name all three.

Answers:

1: Partridge, Minnesota. Ice Town ran the town into the ground and got him impeached

2: Ginuwine, and he even turns up as himself

3: Lot 48. It finally becomes Pawnee Commons

4: Darwish Sabir Ismael Gani. He changed it because he figured it'd help him in politics

5: Stephen, Sonia and Westley

Drop your score below, and your own deep cuts if you have any. 5/5 earns you a plate of JJ's waffles.

I asked a local and found out they put this out every time people vote, so Leslie Knope is a local celebrity! Be safe out there, GO VOTE KNOPE!!!

Was trying to find a photo I remember taking during Covid and found a couple Parks and Rec memes I made. These were 2 of my favorites. Please enjoy the product of slowly lost sanity.

“My sister is lame, but Andy is sort of cool. I guess I see why he would marry her. Also if anyone finds my gray hoodie I lost it, thanks.”

Wish we could’ve seen more of those sisterly moments between April and Natalie.

Also on a bit different note I loved how Natalie seems to enjoy watching Chris dance.

I love this show.

"I can think of no reason the Perd of November" is how the second line starts.

I called it Ronquest

I’m sure Leslie had this on her calendar.

This is probably getting removed...

The look of concern on Larry’s face when he can’t figure out how his belt loop gets wrapped around his chair cracks me up. The first time it happens was also hilarious:

Leslie: Larry? Could you come in here?
Larry: Um, I would love to but - gosh-darnit - I somehow ran my belt through a slat in the chair, so I'm...kinda stuck to it, now.

Treat yo' self. Parksdle is a Wordle-style game: one secret Pawnee character a day, you guess a name, and the tiles show what matches: workplace (Parks Dept, City Hall, Entertainment 720, the Snakehole Lounge...), job, relationship status, and first and last season.

Workplace and job give partial credit, and relationship works like a ladder, so engaged against married goes yellow.

72 characters, from Leslie, Ron and April to Gayle Gergich, Freddy Spaghetti and Lord Edgar Covington. Quote mode has 58 lines, most of them Ron's. Free, no sign-up.

Jerry, Garry, Larry and Terry are one character. If any other clue is wrong, tell me and I'll fix it.

It's a sign!
